My chart above covers the last 52 years.
The government provides the data in Excel format.
The data source covers 65 years, and
is partially duplicated below.

-

Observations -
1. Before 1968, no deficit was as high as it was in
1968.
2. Reagan was responsible for the first "super-deficit".
3. Bush 41 quickly followed with even greater deficits than
Reagan.
4. Clinton's performance was the best, and even produced
surpluses for 3 years.
5. Bush 43 (shrub) gave us even greater deficits still, and
through his actions, ensured that his successor would be
forced to do the same.

My Conclusion -
Republicans MUST be kept out of the White House.

Idiots Abound
- This
morning, Aug. 25, 2013, I received an email from an idiot,
telling me to remove this page, because HE DIDN'T LIKE
IT. It is official White House
data. IF YOU
DON'T LIKE MY COMMENTS, GO AWAY. I AM NOT HERE FOR YOUR
SATISFACTION. GOD KNOWS THE BS
WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE NEOCONS. BUT DON'T YOU DARE TO
DISAGREE WITH
THEM.

The Neocon Way -
IF YOU
DISAGREE WITH WHAT SOMEONE HAS TO SAY, TRY TO SHUT THEM UP.
SUPPRESS THEM.
